Also, Lisa you are welcome. Try not to let it bother you, as hard as that
is. I believe the problem for many of us is that when we try to relax or
to deal with our thoughts, we try to fight them and this increases our
anxiety.
The trick is to let it pass through you, almost to be a little apathetic
about the thoughts that bother you, rather than to combat them as
such. This is also easier said than done...
Finding a good Dr is important too, as you said.
You take care as well

Lisa,
I know exactly what you’re feeling!!! I posted something on my thoughts about death a week ago. I am going to see a therapist for the 1st time to talk about it. I think of death very often and sometimes no matter what, I can’t get it out of my head. Like what’s gonna happen when i die? Is there a life after death? I'm sooo scared and I'm only 22. My thoughts have defiantly not been as intrusive as they were when I first made a post a week ago but that doesn’t mean they will not come back. No one seems to understand. They all say, "everyone is gonna die, its part of life". Well, it could really take over my mind sometimes. You are NOT alone in your feelings. But Living in fear of something that is inevitable is not living.

Wow! It's really nice to read these posts and realize I am not alone. It's hard sometimes I get really upsetting obsessive thoughts that are not in my character at all! I totally can relate to anyone who has panic attacks/disorders. I am a little bummed because I am young and I have to deal with all this ****,but I am working through it w/ the help of meds, God, my family, and my pastors, and of course-my therapist!

About putting positive thought's in your mind. I suffer from negativity too. The way I do it is, pray!
Ask God to help you in the name of Jesus Christ. Also, opening up the Bible will give you answer's also. Sometimes, I go to my church during the week when it's empty. I go inside and kneel in front of Jesus and pray! That does help. But, you really have to believe and ask with all your heart. You have to really mean it. I cried!

Lisa!
It's weird how we can give good advice to others, but we can't do it for ourselves! It does suck! I hate it. How did this happen to us, and why is there a such thing. I would rather go through Labor than this BS!
When your alone, STAY BUSY! Clean house, wash dishes, wash clean dishes, vacuum, color, do a jigsaw puzzle. Write a journal. Writting helps. Also, the best medicine is Jesus! Pray...Ask God to take it from you, in the name of Jesus Christ. And really believe he is taking it!! Ok...............If you want to talk more you can e-mail me @ [email protected]
Anybody can...........

I'm new here too, and well...I'm not quite sure what my problem is, although I know where it stems from. I believe its GAD, possibly with OCD...I worry constantly about things, and I am unable to deal with having a loved one unhappy...I grew up with an alcoholic father and we always walked on eggshells and pretended we were happy, so it has stuck with me for 33 years. I have just went to my doctor recently because I was coping until a week ago when a loved one started to show signs of drinking to much and we began arguing...so it set off my anxiety. My doctor has put me on Effenox and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a next step. I've never had any treatment for this problem although when I look back it has affected me a long time. I've been hiding this for so long I really need to get on with healing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

surve,your next step is to learn ways to challenge your negative obessesvive thoughts. I would recommend trying several different programs. What has helped me to totally recover is using the program here at the panic center, I also read through the Linden method and followed Lucinda Bassetts 15 week program. I know it sounds like alot, but the more knowledge you have and the more ways you learn to cope than the sooner you will get well.

Hello Wayne!
You sound alittle down! Don't be! There is Faith.
God is always with you. He will never let you down. I suggest going to counseling. See someone to talk about your problems. Journaling helps. Write down everything that bothers you, like your mad. And really mean it. Save it, and re-read it when ever. Write someone a letter that you think is the root cause. Only you and God have to see it. Keep it, or throw it away. But, I bet it will make you feel better. I don't take med's. Only because I choose to.
Hope I helped. Praying, and believing and being patient is the best way to go. God heals, and he is free.................
Take CAre

I am new to panic disorder. Have been experiencing it since march 2004. I also experience alot of obscessive thoughts about everything. The scariest ones are about hurting myself, dying, or hurting a loved one or even complete stranges. Lots of anger sometimes too. Taking Effexor and Ativan. The Ativan IS GREAT...Seems to help when having panic attacks and the obscessive thoughts.
